The Men’s World Cup 2019 will be organized jointly by the Dansk Håndbold Forbund (DHF) and the Deutscher Handball Bund (DHB). The German national team will play their preliminary round in Berlin and will move to Cologne in case of a successful qualification for the next round. The preliminary round without German participation will take place in Munich, while Hamburg will set the stage for the semi-finals. The Danish co-host has selected Copenhagen and Herning as their venues to showcase the World Cup in Denmark.

"The tournament is going to set a high standard for our sport and our host nations are eager to show numerous innovational ideas. Both countries are experienced in organizing major events and are prepared for every challenge that comes with it. I’m sure that fans around the globe are going to relive the fascination for our sport due to the World Cup.", said Dr. Hassan Moustafa, President of the International Handball Federation.

The World Cup 2019 will be played in a different tournament format than usual. The changes include four preliminary round groups with six teams each. Twelve teams will advance to the finals round. These will be split into two groups of six teams each. The four best teams will then advance to the semi-finals. Dr. Hassan Moustafa adds, "The clear structure of the competition and the possibility to simplify the entire structure of the event is going to assure a smooth procedure at the venues. Not only the teams will benefit from this format, but also the media, the fans and the local organizers."
